Good research requires time, planning, patience, and flexibility. This Research, Writing and Citing guide will help you learn more about the research process.

Research strategy adapted from University of B.C.’s David Lam Management Research Library’s Jump-Starting My Research (Undergraduate) guide.

Start your research

Search OCtopus: Find Books, Articles, & More!

The Library's search engine - OCtopus - provides a single search box that allows users to simultaneously search for books, audio-visual materials, journal articles, journals, and other resources contained in many of the Library's databases. It's the best place to start your research. As your research progresses, you may want to move to searching individual databases for additional resources.
